Gloomy Looking Day, But a Day Just the Same:)

It's so cloudy and gloomy out there. It looks like it's going to pour any minute. There's also a heat advisory. Right now it's 76 degrees.

I guess I won't be going walking anytime soon.



I've done three days in a row of 18 points, because I actually haven't been hungry. That's a real good thing. I'm taking advantage while it last.

Today's Plans:
1. Wash
2. Upper Body Workout
3. Walk
4. House Chores
5. Cook.
6. Read.

I will post later as day progresses.

10:30 A.M.
Did 17 min. of  "I Want Those Arms" workout.

1:43 PM:
I was feeling guilty for not going out and walking, since it did clear up this morning.  My husband suggested I use the treadmill, and I told him I didn't think I was ready for it. I've been afraid of using the treadmill for fear of relapsing, but after thinking it over, I thought, I can control the speed, why not try?

So, I'm happy to report, that I did a total of 51 minutes. This is how my first time in over eight months, went down:
Speed:   1 mile - 10 min. Warm up.
      "      1.5 m. - 10 min.
      "      1.7 m. - 20 min.
      "      1 mile - 11 min. Cool down.

Incline: About 30%

I wore my pedometer and it read: 1.7 miles.
I am very proud of myself:D  It's a start!


8:44 PM:
Total points: 18.
